BUDDING scientists got a hands-on taste of what goes on in a lab at St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School.
The Noble Park school’s Grade 3 and 4 students welcomed visitors from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) on 22 October.
“We’re doing the inquiry topic on heating up, it’s a science topic,” teacher Georgia Kounoupis said.
“There were a lot of experiments set up around that.
“They’re all chemical-based experiments.
“We’re looking at what happens when two chemicals mix together, producing another chemical.”
The kids got to make slime, test a nappy’s absorbency and more.
“They loved it. They went from one activity to the other,” Ms Kounoupis said.
“It was all hands-on, they really got a lot out of it.”
